Time of Reading Unknown.
1. FEM: Now, Mr. Cayce, you are going to sleep.
2. Now, Mr. Cayce, you are asleep, and all of the organs of your body will function properly. You will hear me and answer all of my questions.
3. You have before you the body of [4331] now present in this room. You will describe all the harmonies and give conditions of the right lung and the left ear and the teeth; give information regarding the sluggish liver, indigestion and impaired appetite; give the cause of the abnormal condition in his body, and the remedy that will restore all the normal organs of this body, and the length of the time necessary for a cure of [4331] present in this room.
4. EC: Yes, we have a body here.
5. Now, pathologically speaking we would have a very interesting body here as far as the physical forces are concerned within the body. See? FEM: Yes, sir.
6. And for the spiritual and elemental forces, with a connection with the physical, biologically, would be a very interesting study.
7. The abnormal physical conditions we have within the body have to do with functioning of organs rather than with organ - is troubles themselves; yet some of the organs have become involved on account of conditions existing in the system; yet not a deep seated organic trouble in any instance as we find as yet. See? FEM: I see.
8. Now, these are conditions as we find in this body: There is the blood supplying force; the blood is a bit deficient in the number of red blood corpuscles - deficient in quality, and not in quantity of the hemoglobin within the red blood. See? FEM: I see.
9. While the number of white blood or leukocytes are sympathetically sufficient to care for the demands over the
4331-1 Page 2
system. Yet we find coagulation at certain times becomes rather abstruce then in its normal action over certain portions of the body. See? FEM: Yes, sir.
10. That is abrasions to the cuticle at times heal very quickly; others go by default, apparently, as it were, causing some troubles. See? FEM: Yes, sir.
11. Through the action of the nerve force within the system we find some of the muscular tissues have become so contracted about certain vertebrae and certain ganglions as to prevent the proper circulation there of forces, and with the deficient blood supply forces to produce an overtaxed nervous force that at times becomes languid in its action in the system. This is being produced by conditions existing through the intestinal tract, or through the digestive functioning organs themselves, and from the action of the blood forces in the system, as produced by that condition. See? FEM: Yes, sir.
12. The sensory organism through the nervous force is supersensitive in this body. See? FEM: Yes.
13. They get above the normal in their supersensitive functioning, while the brain force in its functioning will not be above the normal; yet that supersensitive sympathetic force of the sensory organism produces a stimulus to the whole body that is functioning, producing the action within the system along these channels. See? FEM: Yes, sir.
14. The action of the functioning organs themselves we find has these conditions existing as we have given, through the brain forces; we find them balanced well, though not above the normal in its functioning, save through that of the sensory forces. That condition as we find through the trachea of the throat or the larynx here, that produces, as it were, the phlegm to rise in the throat, you see? FEM: Yes, sir.
15. The soreness produced at times is reflex, produced from the condition we find through the region of the secondary cardiac plexus forces at the sixth dorsal, where also the condition through the lung forces are affected, the same forces - see?
4331-1 Page 3
FEM: Yes, sir.
16. These are reflexes and nervous forces rather than conditions existing in the organs, functioning themselves - see? FEM: Yes.
17. Yet they produce organic conditions without organic troubles - see? FEM: Yes, sir.
18. That is without the organs themselves being other than reflexly affected - see? FEM: Yes, sir.
19. The troubles, or the seat or beginning of the troubles we find as being produced from the intestinal tract, or from - first begun with what was termed or called dyspepsia arising apparently in the throat or stomach here and an over-acid condition existing, again it would turn and become sour, you see? FEM: Yes.
20. In functioning from the duodenum the pancrea [pancreas?] products not being thrown off properly - over-taxed, see? FEM: Yes.
21. This partly has always tended to be an over-eater before this trouble began - see? FEM: Yes.
22. Before the system itself, the liver, became over-charged in attempting to eliminate and to create sufficient juices to take care of it, the condition in the system has become torpid in its action, see? FEM: Yes.
23. This is the present condition we find in the body. The effect of the digestive forces and the condition in the stomach has affected and affects the action of the pneumogastric nerve forces, which has produced the reflex force here, as we have described, along the dorsal and cervical region, that shows the effects to the throat or trachea, or to the lung force - the secondary cardiac plexus force - see? FEM: Yes.
24. The plastic tract throughout creates the condition that
4331-1 Page 4
we have, produced by the acidity carried within the stomach itself - see? FEM: Yes.
25. The capillary circulation - the lymphatic circulation, picking up this condition, being carried back in the blood, causes much of the condition produced in the blood and the blood supplying forces - see? FEM: Yes.
26. To correct this condition then of this system with this body, here, would be to use the forces themselves, the self, to assist with the balance needed to produce an equilibrium throughout the system - we would take this into the system - see? FEM: Yes.
27. To one half a gallon of rain water add eight ounces of clara-flower [clary flower?] - sage. See? FEM: Clara-flower [clary flower?] sage, yes.
28. Clara-flower [clary flower?], or which is commonly called sage; not clara-flower [clary flower?] sage - see? FEM: Yes; I see.
29. Reduce to one quart by steeping or simmering, not boiling; strain, and add to this six ounces of gin - see? FEM: Yes.
30. Preferable Gordon Gin; four ounces of beet sugar, fifteen grains of ambergris, dissolved on one ounce of alcohol; three drams of cinnamon in the bark on - see? FEM: Yes.
31. The dose of this would be a table-spoonful four times each day - see? FEM: Yes.
32. Before meals and just before retiring - see? FEM: Yes.
33. When this has been taken into the system we will find we will have cleared the condition through the bronchial - through the lung force - overcome the condition in the intestinal tract, and for the liver to lie dormant and create the new forces and action through the kidneys, which are over-taxed at times; and create the appetite and have the conditions so that the stomach will digest that which is
4331-1 Page 5
taken into it. You need not be afraid then to eat what the stomach calls for and not overload it at any time, see? FEM: Yes.
34. Develop through spiritual and mental forces to control the system, by exercise and by force of habit on self, do that.
35. (Q) Mr. Cayce, just answer this one question - what length of time will be necessary for a cure? (A) Mr. Cayce, just answer this one question - what length of time will be necessary for a cure? We have just given you as we have given.
36. (Q) Mr. Cayce, what about the condition of the left ear in this body? (A) What about the condition of the left ear, in this body? The same forces that apply to the condition of the pneumogastric nerve affects the sensory organism as we have given, don't you see, here? FEM: Yes. The effect to the sensory organism must be controlled by self, see? FEM: Yes. When we correct the condition through the blood supply and through the rest of the forces and then govern self thru' the action on the sensory organism and the action of the brain forces we balance the forces through the body. We have given the conditions fully, then. We are through.
37. Now, Mr. Cayce, you will forget all about this reading you have given; you have given a wonderful reading and are feeling all right, and all the organs of your body are functioning properly - you are feeling good. Now, wake up in two minutes, just feeling fine and all right.
